Command-Line

I’ve been daily driving Qutebrowser for over a month now, and I’m starting to feel at home in it. Since it doesn’t have any extensions, you have to hack things together yourself, which is why I like it so much. Today I wanted to add an article to my Wallabag instance, which I usually did by using the browser extension. I installed this Wallabag CLI: https://github.com/artur-shaik/wallabag-client pipx install wallabag-client After setting up the config I can now add entries from the command line. By running wallabag add [url]. Neat! ...

I relied on iCloud sync for my Obsidian backup for many years. However, my vault has grown significantly and has reached nearly 3500 notes. This leads to problems when opening the vault on other iOs devices, because iCloud sync removes files from devices when they are not used. When the vault is reopened, it takes over 5 minutes to sync everything. Having this 5 minute waiting time every time I open up my vault on my iPad was a problem which I needed to address. ...

I’m planning to do a series on Linux on my YouTube channel. The idea is to cover the fundamentals of Linux, either by teaching them myself or to link to existing resources. When the basics are done, I will take over and we’ll build an Arch Linux desktop together. I use my MacBook for normal productive work and coding, and I have a Thinkpad T480 which I have for experimentation, and mostly for writing notes and browsing while I’m in the living room. It was running Fedora using the Sway spin, and it worked fine. ...

Although I rarely use Obsidian anymore, I still have it open because it is running the obsidian-git plugin in the background and it is constantly backing up my second brain to GitHub. I use iCloud to synch my vault across my iOs devices and I always create and edit my files using neovim. For my new gig at work I’m forced to use a windows laptop which means I cannot use iCloud to synch my vault. Then it is a godsend to be able to install Obsidian and use that to interact with my second brain. ...
